Microsoft's Newest Scroogled Ad is Another Misfire

Maximum PC: This whole "Scroogled" campaign Microsoft has going reeks of pettiness and misguided priorities. The latet ad has a company pitchman walking up to seemingly complete strangers with a Chromebook in hand and asking them what kinds of things they do on a laptop. He then uses their answers to explain why a Chromebook is a poor choice, be it because it can't install Microsoft Office (though he neglects to mention you can run Office 365) or whatever other specific app isn't supported.

Microsoft should be embarrassed for uploading this video. It is a completely unnecessary low-blow to Google/Chromebook... and it actually weakens the MS brand SIGNIFICANTLY.

This is like BMW releasing a bunch of videos criticizing a Honda SUV... Chromebook serves a different purpose, they are for people who know they need WiFi and do a lot of work within the Google Tool Suite (or people that just want a quick machine to surf/shop/email from).

Of course a laptop w/ Windows installed is going to be more powerful - Google wouldn't even argue that - but to resort to mudslinging against a company that isn't even wasting time defending its choices? Not good.

HEY MICROSOFT: Whatever marketing agency you used to create this video series is clearly misleading you. Contact me, my agency will run circles around this nonsense.
